Tommy had just received a distress call from Dad while sipping coffee with his older brother Tony at an outdoor Italian café stand in Times Square, New York, taking a break and waiting for Odelia, Ashley, and Bessie.
At the moment, the future daughters-in-law of the Hawk family were posing for Bessie's camera in Times Square, striking various poses at her request to help her practice her photography skills.
Frank, who worked on Wall Street, and Kevin, a talk show comedian, the two highest in combat strength in the CS gang, were pursuing separate tasks; Frank was securing front-row tickets for tonight's Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, while Kevin was responsible for arranging post-game drinks and chit-chat.
"Still getting used to it?" Tommy asked Tony with a mischievous grin, nodding towards Ashley who was smiling for Bessie's camera off in the distance. "Usually, guys like you, outstanding American officers, how do you deal with your needs during the long abstinence period?"
